Lori is a knowledgeable and inventive literacy instructor who currently works at the Thunder Bay Literacy Group and will soon be moving to the Lakehead Adult Education Centre (part of the public school board in Thunder Bay).

Lori created a video about the Personal Learning Web - a map of how she works with learners to identify the ways connection, relationships and power impact the whys and hows of learning for each of us differently and specifically.

Loris shared her video and ideas at Community Gabfest: The Personal Web.

Lori shared a couple of examples of how she's been extending her Personal Web reflections lately.

The PDF linked below shows some concept mapping for the following:

• Page 1: Understanding / discussing Indigenous cultural values (the example here is the Anishinaabe 7 Grandfather Teachings, which I have worked with in a few of the local high schools and adult education programs for Indigenous students).

• Page 2 and 3: Understanding and supporting learners affected by ADHD. I have been researching this because it is such a prevalent condition among my learners, and also for people in my family and community.

• Page 4: A simplified think/plan tool that might be used by an individual to prioritize activities for a class, a day, or a week.
